The Dialect Dillemma

Language is such an important part of human culture, how intriguing is to think that we were successful in morphing our vocal cords to produce complex sounds riding on the high tide of evolution and then created words. Words,the whole enormity of one whole planetary civilization wrapped into words, so many of them, uncountable as stars on a midsummer night, each twinkling , each with a story to tell.
Dialects must have entered the arena of language much later, might have been when someone would have realized the value of his words and tried to record them. What leaves me befuddled is conversion of words from one script to another on pure phonetics, not translation which is a whole different aspect of semantics all together, which also kills the aesthetic essence of a language. The point being why do people argue on the validity of something which holds no importance at all. Fuck spellings, fuck it, do not waste your time arguing over how a word should be spelled in an another language, it's as futile as asking your executioner for a weapon just embrace the beauty of words, feel them, let them into you, live them.
